is the thing, that those of us, who knew him best, will miss most in his 
loss. 
Professor Kenyon was a very successful teacher. He was thoroughly 
prepared for his work and was always able to present his subject in a 
clear and vigorous manner. He never lost the student’s viewpoint and 
spent much time in working out in great detail problems which interested 
his students. Professor Kenyon’s influence among students was not 
limited to the class room. He was ever ready to respond to any demand 
which in his opinion meant an uplift to the student life. He served as 
a member of the executive committee of the Y. M. C. A. and as financial 
secretary of the Purdue Union. Professor Kenyon lived as a man among 
men, he was no recluse. He took a keen and active interest in all matters 
of church and community. 
Whatever ability as an investigator and research worker in mathe- 
matics Professor Kenyon may have had was largely covered up by 
administrative duties. He never lost interest in mathematics but by 
constant study, by attendance at mathematical meetings, by contact with 
mathematicians, kept in touch with modern mathematical problems. At 
intervals he found time to do short pieces of original work, some of 
which have been published in the Proceedings of this Academy, in the 
American Mathematical Monthly and elsewhere. He was joint author 
of texts on trigonometry and of a text for mathematics for students 
of science and agriculture. 
Professor Kenyon was a member of this Academy, elected a Fellow 
in 1914; of the American Mathematical Society; of the Mathematical 
Association of America; of the Society for the Promotion of Engineering 
Education; of the American Association of University Professors; and 
of the honorary scientific society, Sigma Xi.
